Highly recommended. - Great trip and service. I have been on many similar excursions but this was one of the best. Gary was our host for the day providing a wealth of knowledge about every aspect of the tour. The ride was as comfortable as can be in a small bus but the leisurely pace meant you were not holding on for your life as is common on some similar tours. A full day with plenty of opportunities to sit back and enjoy the city sights and the surrounding country. The village of Handorf was a delight and the wineries were quite grand. Full marks to everyone involved. I fully recommend the tour company, their staff and the venues we visited. This trip was the highpoint of our brief stay in Adelaide.

A fantastic day out - A fantastic day out. Our guide and driver, Craig, was very knowledgable about the buildings and history of Adelaide. The itinerary was interesting and balanced - a look at the different areas of Adelaide CBD and North Adelaide, a view of the city from Mt Lofty, a nice amount of time to explore Hahndorf, followed by two great wine tasting experiences, before finishing the day driving alaong the coast to Glenelg.

Great day was had! - We had a great day with Jason - he was full of information and kept us entertained the entire day! We started with a city tour and then headed out to Mount Lofty (beautiful views). Then onto Hahndorf which is a quaint little town with lots to see and try. The afternoon was spent going to Haselgrove and Chapel Hill wineries - Haselgrove was great (and so was the cheese platter we ordered to accompany our tasting). We then headed back to the city along the coast with a quick stop in Glenelg. Overall a great day.

Great day trip, fun and friendly - lots to see - Really enjoyed this tour, would recommend doing at the start of your trip and then you can either revisit some of the places at your leisure or go to some of the city parts that they show you. Small 12 seater type bus, friendly and knowledgeable driver, good range of things to see. Would recommend.
